web crawler for specific items?

[LaAngler]

I'm looking for a spider (sniper) type of program that will search amazon, ebay, yakaz, and all other sites if possible. I want to set it to search for a certain item/product at a certain price and notify me of sales/clearances that come up.

I don't know a whole lot about Web Crawlers, but I have heard of a program called "pricepirates". I've never used it, but supposedly it will search sites such as Amazon and Ebay for prices. It will do reminders of auctions, and give notifications on bargains, and you can setup the alert functions to send notifications via SMS messaging. I don't know how good it is, but it might be worth checking out if you haven't already.

Another great site for searching craigslist is searchtempest.com. I think you can include eBay and some other sites as well.
